Shot Dead Can't BreathThis Sunday I agreed to work for another guy at a different station. He's a nice guy so I figured I'd help him out... I know I'll need someone to work for me sooner or later. He was going to play music at church, so I was just going to stay until 3pm. He told me I could go over there, lay down, and go to sleep for a while... of course as soon as he said that I knew it wasn't going to be the case, but I didn't mind at all. It's safe to say I didn't get any rest... I clocked out that morning at about 6:30am... at my regular station and headed for the 25 min drive to the other one in a neighborhing county. When I was driving in to town of the other station I got paged on my pager for a call.. I thought they just had me in the system for the other station, but nope that was for there... so as soon as I drove up I was in the ambulance on my way to a shooting/unconsious call. On the way there dispatch asked us to call so I did... he said a woman said someone shot her baby and the scene was not secured yet. It was about 12 miles away so by the time we got close the scene had been secured... we drove up to find an older male shot to death. Someone had shot him 1 or 2 times in the chest... and shot him in the side of the head... with an exit wound out the other side... some brains in his hair and some on the carpet... luckily it was a small caliber gunshot wound... he was cold and dead so we didn't do any kind of treatment or anything else... just simply waited around a few hours for investigators and corner to get there... where I was working, unlike the regular place, they have someone else transport bodies, so we didn't have to do that either. All the family and neighbors believed it was the girlfriend who did it... and the woman who found him said she saw the girlfriend pass us on our way there. It's kind of crazy to think a woman would do that... but I believe it... a few shifts ago we had a woman who was walking down the street with her 1 year old baby, another woman almost ran them over... and some words were exchanged, so the woman driving the car got a box cutter out and sliced her down the face and stabbed her in the adbomen... and this was in this area... we were just covering... people are crazy... anyways the guy that had been shot was 20 years old... my age.. kinda sad... everyone said he was well liked and didn't have any problems with anyone... except his girlfriend who he argued with constantly. After that call we went back to the station... and I fell asleep... of course as soon as I did... the toner went off and we had another wild call. This time it was right across the street from the station luckily... this guy was squirting blood out of this trach tube like it was a water hose... everytime he coughed blood exploded out... he had just got the trach put in because he had a large mass in his throat... cancer... so we took him to the hospital where they stabalized him and flew him to Jackson for surgery. He kept saying he couldnt' breath... and I know that has to be one of the most uncomfortable feelings in the world to have something like that happen... drowning in your own blood... Comments (7)
